Need serious Advice from sheep people?
I have right now 5 ile de france/dorset crossed ewes. They are only 3 months old. My plan was to find a dorset ram and breed them primarily for meat.

COTTON PATCH FEMALE NEEDED DESPERATELY

Goslings still not eating... please help.
Hows your other gosling doing? I agree it sounds like failure to thrive. You don't by chance have any one selling ducklings around like TSC right now or even chicks? Sometimes by placing a gosling, duckling etc. in with other birds can get it to catch on to eating the food since they... -

Tonight while doing my chores I got to witness one reason why I think geese are the most incredible species and why I have so much love for them. During breeding season its mostly the female who sits on the eggs, but if she gets up to stretch her legs, our male takes over, fussing around...
